Hello starting a new thread , after an amber bowl for the Squirrel figurine, also high on the list a pink nelsons column for the brockwitz fortuna bowl ,I have 2 sea lions brockwitz bowls but no sealions ,anybody have any? Thanks REX
-
Hi Rex
I know someone (where I am getting the green Brockwitz fortuna bowl from) who is getting me some pink Brockwitz birds as the pink Fortuna bowl I have just bought has a damaged bird and she has spares.I believe she may have some of those sealion figures but not sure.
She informed me aswell that they do come across the columns that go in the Fortuna bowl too.

Please let me know how you get on , Nigel the amber scmettling i swapped you i have managed to get another ,it is frosted around the lady all rest is clear so all i need is a green one to have them all, i also purchased a jug and 6 glasses with the faces, Thanks REX

Hi Rex
Fab! I've had that vase also my contact in Holland got me it and I sold it on. I have seen the same in pink and green and my mum has the same in deep blue.
I've just bought a nice amber pin dish with a bird perched on it.
Also just picked up another green Fische comport set.
I was bidding on an amber comport base with the lady holding a column but this one was a lamp base as it had a deep base on 3 feet and a hole for flex at the back but I lost out. I have seen this before at the fairs and I have also seen the cherubs base as a lamp too.
I will be going to the next Newark fair and I am going to take some of my Walther that I'm selling and see if I can flog them there instead of ebay cos it seems no-one wants the good stuff I have.

I hope you do well ,any info on any of the good Brockwitz ,let me know first ? Thanks REX
-
Will do Rex.
I'm picking up the green Brockwitz Fortuna bowl and birds and some spare pink birds for the pink Fortuna. Also picking up another pink Walther Madonna.
I will put that up for a swap only so I know you said you don't have anything spare so will see if anyone else has anything.

My computer is playing up again , i dont know the set will look to see what it is , REX

Hi Rex

Anyway here is a photo of the set

My email account was overloaded , i had a lot of photos of glass in there that were sent to me ,i didnt know that they took up so much space ,got onto my computer provider today and he doubled my space for a short while , Email me with any deals , REX

just after some info on the Brockwitz trafalgar , the bowl appears to come in 2 sizes ,i have purchaced both sizes ,If they birdies go in the small one ,what goes in the big bowl ? I know that with Walther the figures most could go in any bowl ,they were just pictured in catalog in a certain bowl for selling purposes ,some were made for one particular bowl while others could multi fit , My old Geman mate has now moved on so i am unable to get him to read it to me ,i only understand very little German , Thanks REX

Hi Rex
I never realised there were 2 size bowls.I did see a catalogue image of the bowl with the stretching lady in the middle instead of the Column.
I am not sure if the green one I am getting this week is the large or smaller of the bowls so will wait with baited breath.
Unfortunately the pink Fortuna bowl and birds that I bought from the auction house arrived smashed due to bad packing...the birds have some damage but luckily a dealer I know has some spare birds and I have just managed to buy an amber Fortuna bowl with the holes for the birds so I might try sealions and see if they fit into the holes.

Hi Rex
Got the Brockwitz Fortuna bowl in green today and its the larger size.Also mine has 3 birds with wings out and 1 bird with wings in.
I will be able to make up an amber set of this as the dealer has spare amber birds and I have the bowl coming to me shortly.
-
Very good ,i am jealous ,would love to have some of your collection , REX
-
Hi Rex
Hahaha I would like some of yours too lol
I was bidding on the pink Viktoria but someone has outbid me and I'm not going to go any further on it.If it can go up so quickly I wonder why mine never had any interest when I listed it previously? So I have listed it again and see if it does anything.
I've got some spare green Walther float bowls but I think you will probably have them....green Juno bowl,green Groningen bowl and a green Neptun bowl.The Neptun bowl usually goes on top of the fish comport base but I have been told by some collectors that the Koalas has often been found in that bowl.The schwalben looks good in that bowl too.
I myself need the Neptun bowl in clear and frosted glass to go with a white koalas.The koalas is definately Walther as I saw an article about it on pressglas korrespondez.

Nigel it is probably being schill bid , ebay dont give all info now as buyers could check and see who was doing it , i still bust a few , I have a reverse scam when i want to buy an article off ebay say a mower which i just purchased ,i go on and look, find what i am after and find who is schill bidding , you go onto feedback and check so called bidders look at their bids with this seller and if a few have abnormally amounts of percentage with that seller then you can look for them on all the items for sale , i usually then wait till Sunday night when they list them at a low start < They all finish at same price , i check over a few weeks .I then when i have identified which one has started schill bidding i report them , for some strange reason ? nobody then bids on item except me ,Does ebay warn huge sellers? I usually get items for under half price in stores here , So you see if you scam, sometimes it costs you . Also if they are bidding early they are newbies that dont know what they are doing ,not many auctions are won early , If i realy want to try to win i set what price i will pay ,i never bid more and bid late ,it doesnt give snipers or other bidders a chance to come back ,but if they have bid more earlier they win which i have no problem with , I know most of you as sellers dont like late bidders as you want a bidding war but i dont need any glass item that bad to enter into one , sometimes as i have to work 12 hour shifts at night i bid early but will usually come home to bid as late as possible , I have now bought large quantities from ebay and without it wouldnt have anything like i have , We have so much we are going to sell most Australian glass we have probably the lot in one go , We started thinking we could collect one of each piece of walther in each colour ,we now know its impossible so collect one of every piece in any colour , although would like to complete all colours in a couple of items , like a blue orla , a green scmettling , green glasgow,a large clear greta, REX

Hi Rex
Looks like Dylan is going to pay a big price for it as he is winning at the moment.The seller I know for a fact has 2 other ebay names-harleyandalfiesmom and Morkymark and me and some other ebayers have noticed schill bidding on their items before.
I once sold a couple of float bowls to harleyandalfiesmom and then they turned up on ebay more or less straight away under the other ebay name.
I have the pink Viktoria base already but has some damage and it has an amber Viktoria peg bowl on top of it so I would liked to have had a complete pink set.I am not keen on blue I buy it if I see it to sell on or swap like yesterday I found a blue Waltraut clock which I am going to list today along with the Fortuna bowl.
I collect mainly pink and amber Walther now so thats why most of my green and blue I was listing...no bids though.
I like yourself have rumbled schill bidding before and reported them but ebay is so shallow because they are big sellers they are still getting listing fees from them.I have also left bad feedback and when I look they have tons of bad feedback but still they are allowed to trade? Again ebay are grabbing bastards that they still get their fees.And yet I have had listings removed because I mention swaps or say the words "Lalique style"
-
Poor Dylan as much as I don't like the guy he has been stitched up with that Viktoria that was definately a schill bid so he fell for it.
I got my blue Viktoria for a steal so he has paid a hell of a lot for that,he must have a very rich boyfriend.
Funny that the schill bidder never put another bid on it.
-
Hi Nigel
Rich?? I wish lol. We will have to sell a lot of things on eBay in the next few weeks because of this comport. This is one rare item which we really like to own.
Next up, hopefully a nice clown clock in any colour. BTW, hope you'll find your green Arabella lamp soon. I bought mine from a dealer (RubyLane) for 950 pounds in UK....crazy price but at least I have one example in our collection now.
Cheers!
-
Any items i am after ? I have been waiting a couple of months now for a deal to come off but nothing has eventuated so i am still looking for some ,walther and brockwitz or any of the czech figurines in colours i dont have ,Stll after a couple of Bagley items crane,owls, kaola bear vase in green or amber?Thanks REX
-
Hi Rex.
I don't have the brockwitz birds nor the sealions in my collection. Maybe Nigel can help you with that. I do have spare orla bowls in blue and pink. Not sure if you're interested on these?
There are a lot more rarer pieces that Im looking for. I don't have the koala vase in my collection but do have a kookaburra lamp made by bagley. Just one though, so will not sell it at this stage.
Also, May I ask which Czech figures you're after pls? Cheers
-
I would like any Orla bowls , would like any turtle girl , fish boy , flamingos ,and ribbon girl and the bowl they go in if possible , i have green fish ,turtle and ribbon but no proper bowl so i put them in walther green ones ,i have a green ribbon girl in a large fortuna , I have a lot but it is all haphazard so trying to get it all together in order , i have just bought anything i ,(we like) it helps that partner likes what i do , i work wierd shift so get to bid on a lot of English glass , Thanks REX
-
Hi again.
I think the orla bowls are in the box at the moment. Will try to unwrap these boxes and come back to you. I only have one flamingo and one ribbon girl. I do have girl riding a turtle in blue and in pink. I paid too much for these pieces, therefore will keep them.
If not mistaken, I also have a spare blue muschel bowl (clear blue version) which I will consider to list in the next couple of weeks. Hope this helps...Cheers

Rex
Have you ever seen this other style of Essen bowl?
I didn't know there were 2 versions,the blue one is all over blue frosted while the pink is part frosted both having the ring in the middle.
I wonder which of these were used for the Mainz centrepiece?
My friend in Holland got me the blue Essen and so we did a swap.

Hi Rex
Managed to find the blue Orla bowl and it is now being listed on ebay as buy it now / submit your best offer. It might not be worth that much, therefore ignore the starting price. If interested please feel free to submit your offer. Good luck and happy collecting.
Cheers :)

Nigel i will have a look in my walther catalog ,it has couple of pages missing , it tells you where they were sold and how much and sizesand colours ,all the range were not sold in some countries, it just says not available or unable to supply , REX
-
Rex
Thanks for that.
A friend asked me if you were interested in a complete blue frosted glass face jug set?
I still have lots to sell but as sales are poor at the moment I will keep them in storage when times are better.
Blue is not my favourite colour so thats why I usually list them-I have 2 blue Haarlems both have the 3 graces bowl on it,Blue arabella lamp,blue Kolibri vase,blue Shamrock set.I did have the blue Pierette clock but as you know I let that go as I got the green Pierette clock in the end.
I was chatting to a dealer last week at Newark and she said some Australian collectors come over to the fairs in the summer.To be honest glass is not around as much as it was and the downside is the stall holders go around day before public are allowed in and buy up all the good stuff if there is any.
I find a lot of glass at local auctions or through my friend in Europe.

i only got that set in blue 2 weeks ago from here in Australia , i would like a faces vase in any colour < I have just got my small fortuna with nelson column ,the birds are smaller than the big one and the column is slightly bigger on the base , so now i know that there is definately 2 different ones , one at 355 and one at 270mm , i wish i had a brockwitz catalog , thanks REX
-
My catalog shows it and it looks like the blue but it doesnt show very well ,it doesnt say in the description , the bowl is also used for the swallows as well , in the catalog it gives a separate price for all the 2 and 3 piece items and they could be used in multiple displays , i was told when first starting out that this went with that and now i know can use same bowl ,figure in different configurations , Will have to have a closer look under my wifes quiltting magnifier , i need glasses < REX

Hi Rex
Thanks for buying those bowls. I'm having problems with my hotmail so I will message you here. I've got a green rosen comport on chrome base also green windsor clock with vases and I've also got a spare pair of green vases.
Amber rotterdam float bowl sepia cloud orla bowl turquoise Mueller deco centrepiece lady set green flamingoes set damage on frog.
I have some other green bits for swaps but I know you don't have anything to swap.
Also have a spare pink Madonna figure but she again is a swap item.
I will have a dig around boxes and see what else I have for sale.
